I Am Disturbed .
I am disturbed over the fact that there is not more concern on the part of a greater number of people over the
matter of a substantial reduction in the national debt.
ii I will admit that this concern may be due to a more than
erage amount*of eonservativeness and what the idealist
would call a lack of faith, but be that as it may, I feel that ithe Junior Woman's Club will be
There is much talk these days and large plans for a
strong system of defense—and there can be no argument
against it in the world as it exists today, but a lowered, a
consistently lowered' national debt is as important a part of
national defense as anything that has yet been proposed.
We have fought a great war and won it, but we do not
seem to be able to bring ourselves to the point where we are
concerned about paying for it.
a
There is not a man or woman who has gone into debt,
and has by thrift and economy finally discharged the obligation and paid the debt, who does not know that the only way
'l&'pay a burdensome debt is by thrift, and self-denial, and an
active concern for a reduction of the obligation. There is not
a man or a woman who has paid such a debt who does not
know that it is dangerous to put off the payment of such a
debt to a more convenient day. They know that there is no
more convenient time than now, and that no better formula
has been devised than that of giving up something, and some
times many things, some of which are important and desirable* to make accomplishment of our national debt reduction
possible.
there is not enough concern being given to the matter of
reducing our debt. My concern is prompted by the realization j
that the debt, however we may attempt to belittle it and!
laugh it off as a matter of no consequence, represents a substantial, a very substantial mortgage on our future. Totaling
as it does some 253 billions of dollars, it represents a debt
which, with the interest requirements, cannot be paid off
even with the best- management in anything under fifty
years. To do this will require the best management, and a
sizeable amount of taxes, This is assuming that business and
employment continues good, and that during the next fifty
years the Ship of State does not run into a storm fo depress
ion, and falling prices, and reduced incomes do not result in
a reduction of the governments receipts. To assume that we
will go through the next 50 years without eneounteiing one
or more such setbacks is simply to close one's eyes to the
faets so clearly revealed in the nation's past history,
I am disturbed also because too few people seem to
realize that we are living in an abnormal period. They seem
to forget that cur above the average employment and unprecedented wages are due to the fact that the industries of
this country, since the war, have been working night arid
day tQ,produce..mQaihaaidiae=.and^go.Qds.toreplace."those worn
out or destroyed- during the war. Even the most optimistic
person cannot believe or hope that the condition under which
we are now living can continue.
There is talk of federal control to prevent too much un-
mployment, to hold prices steady, to subsidize the farm in-
ustry and the like, but even the novice in economics must
know that when matters reach a certain "point in their
readjustment not all the maneuvering of the so called economists is going to be able to stop the readjustment of the
leveling out. It, like, other great forces of nature, possesses
an irresistibleness against which the force of humans is wholly unable to cope.

Your Congressman, John McSweeney, did not vote this week on
legislation concerning the Central
Intelligence Agency.
By a vote of 348-4 the House
voted to suspend the rules and
pass a bill granting CIA, Arr.eri
ca's "Scotland Yard", the right to
carry on certain intelligence functions at the discretion of the director of the "hush-hush" agency. The
purpose of the legislation, according to its sponsors, is to build up
"a career service in the intelligence
field second to none," and to free
it from "red tape" that hampers
international intelligence work.
Mr. McSweeney a former member of the House foreign affairs
committee, raised his "humble
voice in tribute to a great American" this week in noting the passing of Chairman Sol Bloom of the
foreign affairs committee. He introduced a verse in memorium into

He had however supported himself and later his father, making
his way around on a specially made
motor driven cart. He had always
been active in the town's affairs
and was an ardent sports fan.
"Mike" had resided in North Canton his entire life and was a 24-
year employee of The Hoover Company. He had.worked in the print
shop up to .the time of his death.
He was a member of the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church.

- It! is best to call during the doctor's regular office hours, if that
is iiripossible then leave it with the
doctor's attendant at a time you
can conveniently call. It is important that the sample be taken to
the doctor within a few hours after
it is collected. Ths.amount of sugar
sometimes decreases if it is allow
ed to stand for a long period. If
delay is unavoidable, then the urine should be kept under refrigeration.
In most cases it will be impractical to make the urine examination test at once. In such cases the
sample will be left and the doctor
will examine it at the first opportunity and tele-phone the result.
If the urine is found to be free
of sugar and the subject will get
the good news and can go his way
in-fce knowledge that he is free
from diabetes. If sugar is found in
suspicious amounts he will be advised to get in touch with a doctor
at once.
Presence of sugar in the urine
is not proof of diabetes. It merely
indicates the need for further examination. Manv temporary upsets,
including nervous .tension, stomach
disturbances and mild shock can
put sugar into the blood temporarily. Blood analysis and other tests
will be needed for positive proof.
If this complete examination
brings a diagnosis of diabetes,
diets will be arranged and other
treatment prescribed.
The doctors hope to make the
people think about diabetes seriously without-frightening them into a panic. It is serious only if
neglected. However, if detected in
time and followed up with simple
treatment, the patient may be assured of a normal life. Many cases
can be controlled by diet alone.

has been devised than that of giving up something, and some
times many things, some of which are important and desirable* to make accomplishment of our national debt reduction
possible.
there is not enough concern being given to the matter of
reducing our debt. My concern is prompted by the realization j
that the debt, however we may attempt to belittle it and!
laugh it off as a matter of no consequence, represents a substantial, a very substantial mortgage on our future. Totaling
as it does some 253 billions of dollars, it represents a debt
which, with the interest requirements, cannot be paid off
even with the best- management in anything under fifty
years. To do this will require the best management, and a
sizeable amount of taxes, This is assuming that business and
employment continues good, and that during the next fifty
years the Ship of State does not run into a storm fo depress
ion, and falling prices, and reduced incomes do not result in
a reduction of the governments receipts. To assume that we
will go through the next 50 years without eneounteiing one
or more such setbacks is simply to close one's eyes to the
faets so clearly revealed in the nation's past history,
I am disturbed also because too few people seem to
realize that we are living in an abnormal period. They seem
to forget that cur above the average employment and unprecedented wages are due to the fact that the industries of
this country, since the war, have been working night arid
day tQ,produce..mQaihaaidiae=.and^go.Qds.toreplace."those worn
out or destroyed- during the war. Even the most optimistic
person cannot believe or hope that the condition under which
we are now living can continue.
There is talk of federal control to prevent too much un-
mployment, to hold prices steady, to subsidize the farm in-
ustry and the like, but even the novice in economics must
know that when matters reach a certain "point in their
readjustment not all the maneuvering of the so called economists is going to be able to stop the readjustment of the
leveling out. It, like, other great forces of nature, possesses
an irresistibleness against which the force of humans is wholly unable to cope.

legislation concerning the Central

By a vote of 348-4 the House
voted to suspend the rules and
pass a bill granting CIA, Arr.eri
ca's "Scotland Yard", the right to
carry on certain intelligence functions at the discretion of the director of the "hush-hush" agency. The
purpose of the legislation, according to its sponsors, is to build up
"a career service in the intelligence
field second to none," and to free
it from "red tape" that hampers
international intelligence work.
Mr. McSweeney a former member of the House foreign affairs
committee, raised his "humble
voice in tribute to a great American" this week in noting the passing of Chairman Sol Bloom of the
foreign affairs committee. He introduced a verse in memorium into

- It! is best to call during the doctor's regular office hours, if that
is iiripossible then leave it with the
doctor's attendant at a time you
can conveniently call. It is important that the sample be taken to
the doctor within a few hours after
it is collected. Ths.amount of sugar
sometimes decreases if it is allow
ed to stand for a long period. If
delay is unavoidable, then the urine should be kept under refrigeration.
In most cases it will be impractical to make the urine examination test at once. In such cases the
sample will be left and the doctor
will examine it at the first opportunity and tele-phone the result.
If the urine is found to be free
of sugar and the subject will get
the good news and can go his way
in-fce knowledge that he is free
from diabetes. If sugar is found in
suspicious amounts he will be advised to get in touch with a doctor
at once.
Presence of sugar in the urine
is not proof of diabetes. It merely
indicates the need for further examination. Manv temporary upsets,
including nervous .tension, stomach
disturbances and mild shock can
put sugar into the blood temporarily. Blood analysis and other tests
will be needed for positive proof.
If this complete examination
brings a diagnosis of diabetes,
diets will be arranged and other
treatment prescribed.
The doctors hope to make the
people think about diabetes seriously without-frightening them into a panic. It is serious only if
neglected. However, if detected in
time and followed up with simple
treatment, the patient may be assured of a normal life. Many cases
can be controlled by diet alone.
